FlyTampa EHAM Amsterdam Schiphol

Recommended Posts

I have just enjoyed my first FlyTampa experience (taxi/take off/pattern/landing/taxi at EHAM Amsterdam Schiphol), and I am astonished at the performance in P3D v3.3.5 on my PC. I was expecting framerates to struggle with high detail levels (and a full suite of detailed AI planes), but it was mostly super smooth from pushback to parking. I am very impressed, considering that this is such a huge, detailed airport with lots of 3D buildings and other objects surrounding it. I also wondered about VAS limitations, but I did not experience any problems in this department.

A very pleasant surprise, and this is with nothing more than a 2GB GeForce GTX 770 GPU.

I have encountered a minor problem with this airport. There is an "orphaned ILS" in the AFD file, and when I ask for landing instructions (in my modified 18L/18C configuration), I am told to land on Runway 18 Water This is associated with the orphaned ILS mentioned above, and it is extremely annoying! For some reason, this did not happen when I made a quick circuit of the airport in the Quality Wings Avro RJ70, but I have tried the same test flight three times today in the PMDG 737-600NGX, and every time I was asked to land on Runway 18 Water My modified AFD file has Runway 18L open for take offs, and Runway 18C for landings (which is simply the configuration that I want to use for these short test flights, as it allows me to fly a nice, easy pattern). Like I said, it worked fine in the Avro RJ70, but for some reason it is messing me about today.

I am unable to delete this orphaned ILS, so does anyone know how to solve this problem?
